Both Texas and Florida are the leaders in the fascism race. Books? Education? Why be intelligent when you have the religious fanatics to think for you?
It's not enough that Texas leads in the number of books that have been banned in the last year they are now threatening to pull public funding from libraries that have Drag Story Hour where Cat In The Hat is read to kids.
But that's not all:
This new bill allows the Texas Education commission to ban history text books that admit to LGBTQ people being a part of history.
They can also issue bans for history that leans too much into Racism Is Bad And It Does Exist or if the history condones public uprising (civil rights marches). The books must also give both sides of a political/social movement.
If the text books don't offer glowing pro-America versions of all history then that is also another reason to ban it.

Texas public schools are required to provide equal education to all students. However, suburban and low-poverty students have far greater arts access and offerings in their schools than rural and high-poverty students.
